These hands-on resources are invaluable for engaging young learners, helping them build meaningful connections between letters, sounds, and word formation.\r\n\r\nWith these tools, I'm excited to provide my students with multi-sensory learning experiences that foster both confidence and curiosity in reading. Your generosity not only supports their immediate growth but also contributes to laying a strong foundation for their future literacy success. The tactile experience empowers students to strengthen letter recognition, enhance phonemic awareness, and support memory retention, all while fostering engagement and focus. It also aids in fine motor development, provides immediate feedback, and bridges learning differences such as dyslexia. By aligning with structured, multi-sensory programs like Orton-Gillingham, tactile approaches offer an accessible and effective pathway to mastering essential reading skills.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in the importance of early literacy and for empowering us to create an impactful learning environment for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1731548656852,"projectUrl":"project/alphabet-arcs-tactile-tools-for-early-l/8703196/","projectTitle":"Alphabet Arcs: Tactile Tools for Early Literacy & Phonemic Awareness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9121095"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62361","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1997,"numTeachers":76,"percentFrplEligible":18,"percentAsian":38,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"26.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.6,"schoolId":62361,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mason Early Childhood Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mason Early Childhood Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/mason-city-school-district/mason-early-childhood-center/62361"}
